HSA Eligibility Requirements – Do I qualify for an HSA?

​

To qualify for an HSA, you must meet the following requirements:

​

• You must be covered by a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP).

• You must have no other health coverage, including a spouse’s plan that provides benefits covered by your HDHP. You can have accident, disability, dental, vision, or long-term care coverage or insurance that provides benefits for a specific disease or illness, a fixed amount for hospital stays or liability coverage, such as worker’s compensation.

• You are not enrolled in Medicare.

• You do not receive health benefits under TRICARE.

• You have not received Veterans Administration (VA) benefits within the past three months.

• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

HSA Signer(s) Information

​

By adding a signer, you’re designating a person(s) to have signing authority on your account and the ability to access funds from the account with a dependent HSA debit card. A signer does not have ownership of the funds and may only sign for the account until the owner’s death or revocation of signatory rights. We’ll ask the same information for the signer as the applicant information.
